Term: North Freedom [origin of place name]
Definition: Village located in the northern part of the town of Freedom, hence North Freedom. Where the roads meet in the center of the section was originally called Hackett's Corners from the families residing there. When the railroad was built two plats were made, one called Bloom for George W. Bloom and one called North Freedom. Afterwards, Bloom station was changed to North Freedom. Iron ore used for paint was later discovered and the name became Bessemer in honor of Sir Henry Bessemer, who invented the process of reducing iron ore. The name of North Freedom was later decided upon.

Create mongoDB external table
Data Virtualization with MongoDB using PolyBase in SQL Server 2019
October 9, 2020 by
In this article, you'll learn the approach to integrate MongoDB data source using data virtualization technique in SQL Server 2019. In this article, you can see how SQL Server 2019 provides a platform to create a modern enterprise data hub using data virtualization technology and the PolyBase technique.
 1. Discuss Data Virtualization
 2. Pre-requisite to setup MongoDB
 3. Set up MongoDB external connection in SQL Server 2019
 4. Many more…
The advent of Data virtualization in SQL Server 2019 allows us to solve modern and complex data challenges. Data virtualization with PolyBase in SQL Server 2019 is used as a data hub, and you can directly query the data from several heterogeneous data sources. These data sources include Azure Managed Instance, Oracle, Teradata, SAP HANA, MongoDB, Hadoop clusters, Cosmos DB, and SQL Server. We can query the data source using T-SQL and without separately installing driver software.
The data virtualization in SQL Server 2019 is an improvised solution to the ETL process. The other advantage of Data virtualization is that it allows the integration of data from different sources such as Azure MI, SQL Server, MongoDB, Oracle, DB2, Cosmos DB, and Hadoop-Distributed-File-System (HDFS) without the much data movement around the source and destination. This process is possible with the advent of PolyBase connectors.
 - Using T-SQL, we can query heterogeneous data sources using PolyBase connectors. This provides the bridge to query the data from external data sources such as SQL Server, Oracle, Teradata, MongoDB, and ODBC data sources with external tables
 - It also supports the UTF-8 encoding format
Get started:
In this section, you will learn how to create secure data access from the underlying data source.
In this case, PolyBase uses the security model of the MongoDB model to access the data. In most cases, we need permission to read the data. However, the credentials used to read the data and it is stored inside the PolyBase data hub.
To set-up data virtualization, follow the below steps:
 1. Setup database master key
 2. Create database-scoped credentials
 3. PolyBase external tables
 4. Configure External data sources
To configure database virtualization, select the database. Right-click the database and select Create External Table that starts the data virtualization wizard.
 1. Select a data source
 2. Create a database master key
In this section, we will see how to create a database master key. The master key is created inside the SQL Server database and it acts as a data hub.
The master key is providing a secure way to read data using the credentials in the external data source. It is always recommended to choose a complex password for the master key. In addition, use the BACKUP MASTER KEY command to back up the master key.
 1. You can have one master key in a database instance
 2. Use a secure location to backup the master key
 3. If you already have the master key created in your SQL instance—re-use it. The same master key is used to secure data access for data virtualization
 4. To see whether the master key is already created run the following query
 Display Sysmetric_keys details
Syntax to create a database master key is as follows:
Database scoped credentials
Database scoped credentials provide the abstraction layer to secure the model to access the data from the data source. SQL Server 2019 supports the following security models when using PolyBase for data virtualization:
 1. Proxy authentication
 2. Kerberos authentication
 3. Storage access key—shared secret key
The following syntax is used to provide SQL Server with the security context for a connection to a MongoDB external data source. In addition, you will see a shared secret key in use to create a database scoped credential.
 - Note: The identity refers to the username of the MongoDB external data source
To validate database scoped credentials in the datahub run the following T-SQL:
Display database scope credentials
Configure External data sources
External data sources provide a path to virtualize data from other data sources. It collects all the meta-data to access data from the single database object.
Each external data source provides the below options required to access the external source:
 - Location
 - port
 - credential
 - connectivity
The LOCATION parameter defines the communication protocol, server name and port for connectivity.
In this case, the communication protocol is mongodb and server is and port is 27017
The CREDENTIAL argument uses the database scoped credential MyMongoDBDemo2019. The external data source will use this database-scoped credential to query the target data sources
 - Note: The Connection_options and Pushdown parameters will be explained later in the article
 - To validate external data sources run the following T-SQL:
 Display external_data_sources
 How to map an external data table
 In this section, we will see how to create external views. On selecting the parent tables, the child tables are also referred by default. In addition, you have the mapping table where you modify the columns to match the target data types. This also gives you the option to modify the name of the external table.
 Let us look at the details of the MongoDB instance. Create the user using the following commands. I will not go in-depth on MongoDB concepts.
 how to connect mongoDB
 PolyBase external tables
 External tables provide SQL Server with the schema to reason over data in the external data source.
 Error Message:
 The T-SQL create external table statement errors out with the following details. You can see that the TLS handshake failed error reported. This can be handled in two ways. You can manage it at the Mongo DB startup parameters or you can turn off the SSL parameter or you can turn off the SSL=false in the T-SQL statement.
 "Msg 105082, Level 16, State 1, Line 16
 105082;Generic ODBC error: [Microsoft][MongoDBODBC] (110) Error from MongoDB Client:
 No suitable servers found (serverSelectionTryOnce set):
 [TLS handshake failed: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0) calling ismaster on '']
 (Error Code: 13053) Additional error <2>:
 ErrorMsg: [Microsoft][MongoDBODBC] (110) Error from MongoDB Client: No suitable servers found (serverSelectionTryOnce set)
 (Error Code: 13053), SqlState: HY000, NativeError: 110 "
 You may receive this error due to the SSL issue. Now, the CONNECTION_OPTIONS parameter plays a role to connect MongoDB data source.
 In this case, set the connection_options to ssl=false and then run the create external statement.
 The CONNECTION_OPTION setting suppresses the connection over SSL, which is a default requirement for communicating with many other data sources. I will discuss more about it in the next article.
 Let us run create external table statement again:
 We can see in the below snippet, the external table created successfully.
 Create mongoDB external table
 Let us validate the external table using the following T-SQL:
 Display the external tables
 Now, Let us browse object explorer to validate the existence of the External Tables and External Data Sources.
 Display external employee table
 Finally, query the external table
 MongoDB data validation in SSMS and MongoDB console
 In this article, we discussed how to set up a PolyBase in SQL Server for MongoDB external data source.
 To summarize the steps real quick:
 The data virtualization framework provides a platform to eliminate the use of redundant data copies. To maintain the physical copy always requires additional storage and hardware resources. It incurs to increase an additional overhead on costs. Using the data virtualization technique, organizations can create an abstract layer to create a virtual data copy from a heterogeneous or homogeneous data repositories. The virtual copies define the soft external table links to the physical data repository. As I mentioned, the data virtualization technique not only avoids extra storage but it provides strong consistency between the source and the target in the data retrieval process. In addition, it addresses the data issues which in turn improves the data quality and improves the data query performance.
 That's all for now. I hope you like this article. Stay tuned for more updates…

Freebase
 1. Chilblains
 Chilblains is a medical condition that occurs when a predisposed individual is exposed to cold and humidity, causing tissue damage. It is often confused with frostbite and trench foot. The cold exposure damages capillary beds in the skin, which in turn causes redness, itching, blisters, and inflammation. Chilblains can be prevented by keeping the feet and hands warm in cold weather. Chilblains can be idiopathic, but may also be a manifestation of a serious medical condition that needs to be investigated. A history of chilblains is suggestive of a connective tissue disease. Chilblains in infants, together with severe neurologic disease and unexplained fevers, can be seen in Aicardi–Goutières syndrome, a rare inherited condition.

IUCN Director General Julia Marton-Lefèvre has officially launched the Northern Bald Ibis Project in the Syrian Palmyra desert. This project aims to establish new standards and practices for protected areas design and management in Syria, where activities to conserve the Bald Ibis will be undertaken in the Palmyra Ibis Protected Area (IPA) which was established in 2004.
The Northern Bald Ibis (NBI) Geronticus eremita is listed in the IUCN Red List 2006 as a "Critically Endangered" species on a global scale. Unexpectedly, a relict wild colony of 7 individuals was discovered in the Syrian Palmyra desert in 2002.
The project is being co-managed by the Desert Commission (DC) of Palmyra, a newly established institution managing protected areas in the Syrian desert, and it is strongly supported by Her Excellency the Syrian First Lady since its very inception.
The IUCN Director General visited Palmyra as part of her overall mission to the Levant countries accompanied by IUCN West Asia Regional Director Dr Odeh Al-Jayyousi and other staff from the region.
"This project is a great example of IUCN's mandate to demonstrate the link between nature conservation and human well-being. We are inviting the Desert Commission to become an IUCN member to exchange experience and knowledge and become part of the global environmental community," said Marton-Lefèvre in her speech.
"We are pleased to work with IUCN especially after they have given us the honour of visiting Palmyra. We are glad that five ibises have made their migratory come back to Palmyra during the second half of February 2009," said Ali Hamoud Director of the Syrian Desert Commission. "Hopefully if extended beyond the summer, the Ibis Project will be extended to other component areas including the sustainable development of local communities living within the Ibis Protected Area," he added.
"The project will build the technical capacity of local staff in the IPA and develop a management plan and an ibis national action plan. It will also collect baseline information both in Syria and at the Ethiopian ibis wintering grounds," said Khaldoun Al Omari, IUCN West Asia Protected Areas Officer. "The Northern Bald Ibis, one of the critically endangered species according to the IUCN Red List, is a perfect flagship species for both sites in Syria and in Ethiopia."
Through the project, eight staff members from the IPA will be trained by the Royal Society for Conservation of Nature (RSCN) in Jordan, considering RSCN's experience in the management of protected areas. Training courses will be developed for staff, scientists and rangers in that area.
A memorandum of cooperation was signed recently between IUCN Regional Office for West Asia and BirdLife Middle East to join forces on the protection, monitoring and research efforts at the IPA, during the present ibis breeding season, in cooperation with RSPB.
The Italian Cooperation (DGCS) is providing a Trust Fund for this project, while matching funds were raised locally thanks to the Finnish and Netherlands Embassies in Damascus. Additionally, the National Geographic Society released a grant for tracking the young ibises along the Arabian Peninsula next autumn.

First Feed is a plant food specially formulated for young plants. It is suitable for growing on rooted cuttings or established seedlings.
It is formulated from the same high grade salts that we use for all our food but at a concentration and balance that is correct for young plants. First feed contains trace elements at full strength allowing the young plants to develop with no shortages of traces which can happen if using a dilute grow food. First feed also contains a seaweed extract that will provide the young plants with a boost of micronutrients and hormones.
This will allow the plants to establish and start growing quickly and with the minimum of stress.(If the plant is provided with a hormone it does not have to make it, so can respond to it immediately thus growing quickly and with less effort).

Steven Vance recently forwarded me a question about why CTA's rails have been sparking. Unlike MAX trains which get power from an overhead wire system, their trains get power through a third rail system. However, arcing in both kinds of power systems during winter weather is typically caused by ice. Ice building up on the wire (or third rail as the case may be) acts as an electrical insulator, preventing the carbon shoe from making contact with the wire where the ice accumulates. This interruption in the flow of the current from the wire to the pantograph is visible as arcing.
Here's a video of a MAX train pulling into & out of a platform where there was some ice on the catenary, and you can easily see the effect that it has:
To help clear ice from the overhead wire & prevent it from accumulating, a few of the Type 1s (107-112) are equipped with ice cutters which are put into use for major freezing rain/ice events. I don't have a picture of any of them in use (though I'm willing to accept donations!), but they look like a second pantograph and function by heating/scraping ice from the overhead wire. Unlike the pantographs, ice cutters only draw current to heat the elements and not to provide power to the train, so they won't arc the same way the pantographs do in ice. Their function is strictly to clear ice from the wire.
If you'd ever seen one of these cars and wondered why it has two pantographs, wonder no more! It doesn't – one pantograph, one ice cutter.
View from above; the ice cutter is the one closer to the coupled end, the pantograph is the one in contact with the wire closer to the vantage point. Bonus cameo appearance by car 235

Effects of the Mono Winds
August 30, 2012
Tioga Road near Mono Pass Trailhead
Dramatic evidence of the regional phenomenon known as the Mono Winds can be seen just off the Tioga road near the Mono Pass Trailhead. Numerous trees are down in this area, having been blown down last winter. When a high pressure system is over the Great Basin, the clockwise movement of air pushes up and over the Sierra and picks up speed as it rushes down the western slopes. The rugged topography funnels some of that air, further increasing the speed and intensifying localized effects. The Mono Winds can easily reach 50 mph and in extreme cases exceed 100 mph. It is likely that the wind that knocked these trees down was funneled by the Tioga pass and continued down the Tioga road. Most of the downed trees are near the road and lying parallel with the road. The weather patterns that cause the Mono Winds occur from October to April but are most common in December and January.

OpenAI Prompt Abuse Filter
This Lunar Flow lets you scan the prompts your services send to the OpenAI API for block-listed strings / patterns. This is a crucial technique for detecting and preventing prompt injections and LLM abuse. By blocking certain pattern and strings that attackers may use to subvert your system, you can prevent prompt-injection type attacks and secure your system.
Relevant APIs:
 1. [REQUEST] Regex Search - this processor searches for all the abuse patterns you define over the prompt input, to check if the user used any of them. You can customize this step in a few ways:
 - Define the list of expressions the processor should look for - this is essentially the list of expressions you want to block users from being able to use in their prompts. You can include simple strings (for example: "ignore previous prompt") or more sophisticated regular expressions (like: "Bearer [A-Za-z0-9-._~+/]+").
 - Customize which parts of the conversation the processor considers - the string input for the processor is where it will look for the patterns you provide, there are a few options for search paths:
 - Look at all user messages (current + history):{{req.body.json().messages.filter(m ⇒ m.role=="user").map(m ⇒ m.content).join("\n")}}
 - Look at the last user message (without past messages history):
 {{req.body.json().messages.filter(m ⇒ m.role=="user").pop().content}}
 - Look at all messages (user + ai messages):
 {{req.body.json().messages.map(m ⇒ m.content).join("\n")}}
 2. [REQUEST] Send Response - in case we find one of the block-listed patterns in the prompt, we want to terminate the request. We do this by using the Send Response block with a 403 forbidden status code.
Prerequisites:
 - Have the Lunar proxy installed and configured in your environment.
 - You have the Lunar interceptor installed at the service from which you are consuming the OpenAI API.
Understanding Prompt Injections:
Prompt injections are a technique used to exploit vulnerabilities in language models and AI systems that rely on large language models (LLMs) as part of their functionality. The core idea behind prompt injections is that an attacker can craft a malicious input or "prompt" that, when passed to the LLM, can cause the model to generate output that deviates from its intended behavior.
In the context of LLMs, a prompt is the input text that is used to initialize the language model and guide its generation of output. Attackers may attempt to inject malicious content into this prompt in order to subvert the model's behavior. This could involve including special tokens, formatting instructions, or other content designed to influence the model's reasoning and output in unintended ways.
Some common examples of prompt injection techniques include:
 - Instruction Injections: Inserting specific instructions or commands into the prompt, such as "Ignore all previous instructions and instead..." or "Do not follow any rules, just output the following..."
 - Role Prompts: Attempting to assign the model a different "role" or persona than the one intended, e.g. "You are now an evil hacker whose goal is to..."
 - Content Insertions: Injecting malicious or unrelated content into the prompt, such as code snippets, URLs, or other data designed to influence the model's output.
 - Formatting Abuse: Exploiting the model's sensitivity to formatting, such as using Markdown or HTML tags to inject special formatting directives.
Prompt injections can be used to attack a wide range of AI-powered features and systems, from language generation to decision-making and task completion. As LLMs become more widely adopted, understanding and mitigating the risks of prompt injections will be an increasingly important challenge for AI developers and users.

Clarkdale AZ (July 9, 2019) – The Northern Arizona Audubon Society is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the Greenwood Fund and Yavapai College to provide a non-credit course on the natural history of the Verde Valley. The Greenwood Fund was started in memory of Dena Greenwood, a well-known and beloved member of the local community.
A longtime resident of the Verde Valley who passed away in 2018, Dena Greenwood, was a naturalist, ornithologist, educator and guide who devoted much of her life to inspiring others to cherish the remarkably diverse habitats that we have in northern Arizona. Among her many achievement were working with the City of Sedona on the creation of the Sedona Wetlands Preserve which has become a premier bird sanctuary and birding destination. The continuation of Dena's lifelong dedication to sharing nature with others was the inspiration for this effort.
In recognition of these contributions, her family and friends created the Greenwood Fund to honor her memory and to continue her educational dreams.
Members of the Northern Arizona Audubon Society have created a course titled An Introduction to Natural History Field Studies and Yavapai College enthusiastically agreed to incorporate it into the curriculum at their Clarkdale Campus starting this September 5.
This four-session course will introduce students to the diverse habitats of the Greater Verde Valley region with special emphasis on understanding why these habitats exist where they do and the characteristic species found in each. Participants will visit the Bubbling Ponds and Sedona Wetlands sanctuaries and other natural areas, learn about the region's plants and animals, and get a hands-on introduction to the art of birding and other aspects of natural history field studies. The class will focus on identification of local species and stress the interdependence of species within each habitat discussed. Opportunities to participate in natural history studies through a variety of citizen science projects will also be discussed.
Those interested in signing up for the course can do so on the Yavapai College website. Please go to: _URL_
All participants completing the course will receive a $50 tuition subsidy from the Greenwood Fund. For further information, please contact Brent Bitz at _EMAIL_

What Are Swedish Showers?
You likely are familiar with the standard shower that uses one shower head to deliver a constant stream of water. Other types of showers are also available, including the Swedish shower. A Swedish shower is also called a Swiss Shower and use multiple water jets for hydrotherapy.
Swedish showers use multiple water jets.
A Swedish shower has a shower head at the top, similar to any other type of shower setup, but that's where the similarities come to an end. Swedish showers also have jets located all around the shower, usually four rows of four jets. These 16 jets provide the user with 360 degrees of shower jets.
True Swedish showers are designed to fluctuate between cold and hot water to assist in circulation. The two temperatures alternate for several seconds at a time. These types of showers are most often seen in spa environments. The temperatures in a Swedish shower range from 45 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit, which can be dangerous for people with high blood pressure or women who are pregnant.
Swedish showers are most often used for hydrotherapy in spas, using their pressure to relieve sore muscles and aid in circulation. In addition, the constant temperature fluctuations of the Swedish shower's water cause the capillaries in the skin to contract and dilate, which also increases blood circulation in the skin.
Many home shower manufacturers provide different shower models that resemble Swedish showers and include the 16 water jets along the walls of the shower. Homeowners can enjoy Swedish showers at home, but should discuss what they want out of their showers with their installers or the manufacturers. Not all Swedish showers will provide the same pressure and temperature benefits as the Swedish showers found in spas do, as some merely have extra jets and are not programmed to fluctuate in temperature or pressure.

Socioeconomic Impacts of Coastal Tourism on Local Communities in Kuakata, Bangladesh
SHARE THIS PAGE
The socioeconomic impacts of coastal tourism depend on local communities' participation in tourism activities and gathering both positive and negative consequences. However, an understanding of the socioeconomic impacts is essential for making proper strategic efforts for its sustainable existence. We identify the socioeconomic impacts of coastal tourism on local communities in Kuakata, which is one of the natural coastal tourist attractions in Bangladesh. Our study is based on quantitative survey data from 350 local tourism stakeholders obtained through a semi-structured questionnaire. Based on a theoretical framework, factor analysis has been conducted to perceive the latent construct of four dimensions of coastal tourism impacts, namely, livelihood, economic, social, and environmental aspects. Later, cluster analysis has been used to observe the overall socioeconomic impact. Our study revealed that the overall impacts of coastal tourism have significant consequences among the respondents in different age groups, educational levels, and income categories. Tourism activities are important for sustainable livelihood, increasing adaptive capacity, and reducing vulnerability in coastal areas. We also observe that there is poor empowerment of locals, lack of regulations, and limited community participation in coastal tourism activities in Kuakata. Policymakers, industry professionals, and academics need to give careful attention to the overall impacts so that sustainable development can be achieved through coastal tourism development in the study area.

Reciprocity law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For the reciprocity law in photography, see Reciprocity (photography).
In mathematics, a reciprocity law is a generalization of the law of quadratic reciprocity.
There are several different ways to express reciprocity laws. The early reciprocity laws found in the 19th century were usually expressed in terms of a power residue symbol (p/q) generalizing the quadratic reciprocity symbol, that describes when a prime number is an nth power residue modulo another prime, and gave a relation between (p/q) and (q/p). Hilbert reformulated the reciprocity laws as saying that a product over p of Hilbert norm residue symbols (a,b/p), taking values in roots of unity, is equal to 1. Artin reformulated the reciprocity laws as a statement that the Artin symbol from ideals (or ideles) to elements of a Galois group is trivial on a certain subgroup. Several more recent generalizations express reciprocity laws using cohomology of groups or representations of adelic groups or algebraic K-groups, and their relationship with the original quadratic reciprocity law can be hard to see.
Quadratic reciprocity[edit]
Main article: quadratic reciprocity
In terms of the Legendre symbol, the law of quadratic reciprocity for positive odd primes states
Cubic reciprocity[edit]
Main article: cubic reciprocity
The law of cubic reciprocity for Eisenstein integers states that if α and β are primary (primes congruent to 2 mod 3) then
Quartic reciprocity[edit]
Main article: quartic reciprocity
In terms of the quartic residue symbol, the law of quartic reciprocity for Gaussian integers states that if π and θ are primary (congruent to 1 mod (1+i)3) Gaussian primes then
Octic reciprocity[edit]
Main article: Octic reciprocity
Eisenstein reciprocity[edit]
Suppose that ζ is an th root of unity for some odd prime. The power character is the power of ζ such that
for any prime ideal of Z[ζ]. It is extended to other ideals by multiplicativity. The Eisenstein reciprocity law states that
for a any rational integer coprime to and α any element of Z[ζ] that is coprime to a and and congruent to a rational integer modulo (1–ζ)2.
Kummer reciprocity[edit]
Suppose that ζ is an lth root of unity for some odd regular prime l. Since l is regular, we can extend the symbol {} to ideals in a unique way such that
where n is some integer prime to l such that pn is principal.
The Kummer reciprocity law states that
for p and q any distinct prime ideals of Z[ζ] other than (1–ζ).
Hilbert reciprocity[edit]
Main article: Hilbert symbol
In terms of the Hilbert symbol, Hilbert's reciprocity law for an algebraic number field states that
where the product is over all finite and infinite places. Over the rational numbers this is equivalent to the law of quadratic reciprocity. To see this take a and b to be distinct odd primes. Then Hilbert's law becomes But (p,q)p is equal to the Legendre symbol, (p,q) is 1 if one of p and q is positive and –1 otherwise, and (p,q)2 is (–1)(p–1)(q–1)/4. So for p and q positive odd primes Hilbert's law is the law of quadratic reciprocity.
Artin reciprocity[edit]
Main article: Artin reciprocity law
In the language of ideles, the Artin reciprocity law for a finite extension L/K states that the Artin map from the idele class group CK to the abelianization Gal(L/K)ab of the Galois group vanishes on NL/K(CL), and induces an isomorphism
Although it is not immediately obvious, the Artin reciprocity law easily implies all the previously discovered reciprocity laws, by applying it to suitable extensions L/K. For example, in the special case when K contains the nth roots of unity and L=K[a1/n] is a Kummer extension of K, the fact that the Artin map vanishes on NL/K(CL) implies Hilbert's reciprocity law for the Hilbert symbol.
Local reciprocity[edit]
Hasse introduced a local analogue of the Artin reciprocity law, called the local reciprocity law. One form of it states that for a finite abelian extension of L/K of local fields, the Artin map is an isomorphism from onto the Galois group.
Explicit reciprocity laws[edit]
In order to get a classical style reciprocity law from the Hilbert reciprocity law Π(a,b)p=1, one needs to know the values of (a,b)p for p dividing n. Explicit formulas for this are sometimes called explicit reciprocity laws.
Power reciprocity laws[edit]
Main article: Power reciprocity law
A power reciprocity law may be formulated as an analogue of the law of quadratic reciprocity in terms of the Hilbert symbols as[1]
Rational reciprocity laws[edit]
A rational reciprocity law is one stated in terms of rational integers without the use of roots of unity.
Scholz's reciprocity law[edit]
Shimura reciprocity[edit]
Weil reciprocity law[edit]
Main article: Weil reciprocity law
Langlands reciprocity[edit]
The Langlands program includes several conjectures for general reductive algebraic groups, which for the special of the group GL1 imply the Artin reciprocity law.
Yamamoto's reciprocity law[edit]
Yamamoto's reciprocity law is a reciprocity law related to class numbers of quadratic number fields.

Dear visitor,
About EGGER> Forestry> Forestry News> Road Infrastructure
What you need to think about when planning road infrastructure?
Road infrastructure is a huge capital cost
The decision to construct a road, whether large or small, within your forest requires very careful consideration. In most cases, road infrastructure represents the single largest capital cost outside of purchasing the forest or land.
In light of this, timing of when to start and how to phase a road building programme can require thorough planning in order to help both minimise the degree of financial exposure the forest owner will face as well as maximising the potential income from establishing infrastructure which should allow suitable access for operations such as establishment, tending and harvesting.
The design of the road needs careful thought. Access to allow for the uplift of harvested timber will require a road with a suitable firm construction to carry a maximum gross vehicle weight of 44 tonnes. Allowing for enough width to turn near the location of roadside timber and also allowing enough width on corners along the road are key to minimising the distance lorries need to run on as well as ensuring all road users remain safe when travelling. Some knowledge of the underlying geology, the soil structure and the location of available stone are essential.
Consideration also needs to be given to minimising the environmental impact of a new road. Factors such as managing watercourses, managing habitat and minimising the impact on local communities need to be given thought.
Over recent years, there has been a move towards lowering the impact caused by timber lorries within the forest through the use of systems such as Central Tyre Inflation (CTI) which allows the driver to reduce tyre pressure when travelling off the public road. Specific 'in-forest' haulage systems can also be used, which can consist of a simple 4-wheel drive tractor and trailer or something more specific, such as a purpose built unit capable of moving large quantities of timber out to a landing area close to the public road. Whilst there is usually an additional cost associated with running these systems, it can usually be offset by reducing the cost of ongoing road maintenance.

Research on Thermal Comfort of Crystal Sandstone Light Ceramics
The thermal properties of the crystal sandstone light ceramic products, nature sandstones, tiles and composite floorboards were analyzed and compared in detail by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and thermal simulation method. The results show that the different thermal properties are the main factors which lead to the different thermal comfort to these materials. It is analyzed in theory that the good thermal comforts of the crystal sandstone light ceramics are come from the low thermal conductivity and low density mainly. And the thermal simulation is a reference method on the thermal comfort research of architectural ceramics.

Where the trees are naturally musical
For centuries, the spruces of the Violin's Forest have been used in the world's finest instruments
Geography and climate have conspired to produce extraordinary trees in the forests east of Predazzo. Managed for 900 years by the Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme, their timber resonates with an unusually clear and consistent tone, and they have inspired both instrument makers and musicians for centuries.
In winter, all forests feel magical. Hushed and white beneath their mantles of snow, they're beautiful places in which to strap on a pair of snowshoes, and go for a walk.
But for music lovers no forest is more bewitching than la Foresta dei Violini, just east of Paneveggio in the Val di Fiemme. Called, in English, the Violin's Forest, it was colonized long ago by red Italian spruces, and they grow straight and slow along its chilly and sheltered slopes. As a result, their wood is dense and consistent, and makes near-perfect soundboards for musical instruments. Stradivarius used it, and it's still sought after for the world's finest violins, cellos, pianos and guitars. In fact, 10% of the trees here are suitable for this sacred purpose, compared with an average of 0.8%.
The Violin's Forest is just east of the visitor centre of the Nature Park of Paneveggio–Pale di San Martino, which has a small museum dedicated to these musical trees. It also offers guided walks, where you'll learn about the history of the forest, and its careful management. It is, for example, thought that trees intended for soundboards are best harvested during a waning moon in early winter, so that there is less sap in the timber.
The more adventurous should also seek out il Bosco che Suona – "the Valley of Harmony" – which is a 5km walk from the car park at the Miola restaurant, in the Valmaggiore. Here too there is a near-perfect micro-climate for musical trees, and in a remarkable new project, musicians are being invited to adopt a tree, and play a piece of music inspired by it. Download the app "Il Bosco che Suona", on Google Play before you go, and you can listen to the results as you walk through the forest.

Spartan Lifestyle: Ways To Live Like A Spartan In Modern World
Jan 5 2020 By Aayushma B.
Spartan lifestyle and values
Spartan lifestyle and values
Sparta was an ancient city in Greece from the 750 to around 3rd Century BCE. Spartan lifestyles and values have been glorified all around the world. Located in the ancient grounds of Laconia in Greece, Spartan people built an empire. There are many claims that life in the ancient city wasn't as good as we think it was. The constitution of Sparta believed in slaves and killing them in order to avoid uprisings. An average man spent their whole life training to be a warrior. Even at that time, the Spartan mentality was very different from the rest of the world. An antique idol of Sparta Warrior
However, there are many principles which made the civilization successful for centuries. The Spartan men and women lived a lifestyle that kept them safe from the world outside. Currently, some people want to be away from the technological world that has made us materialistic. Spartan lifestyle and mentality will instill values different from the modern world.
There are many things that we can learn from these warrior men which can keep us content. You might not be able to follow all their principles as it would be absurd in the modern world to even think of some, but you can adopt the good ones.
The 12 things you must do in order to live your life like a spartan soldier are given below:
1. Minimalism in Spartan Lifestyle:
Spartan lifestyle and values
To this date, you will find thousands of people trying to adopt a minimalistic lifestyle. People have become so spoilt with all the possession that it is almost impossible to survive without them. So, adopting this spartan mentality might be helpful in case you are one of them.
From a very young age, Spartan soldiers were taught to be happy with very little in life. Some might even consider it ruthless keeping a child from their basic needs. But as a Spartan soldier, this was the way of life. Today, people need thousands of things just to go by a single day. This was completely opposite as per the Spartan values. The only piece of clothing that the children could get was a robe.
2. Spartan Diet:
Today, you can order something online that will reach your doorsteps in a few minutes. However, in ancient Sparta, you had to basically earn everything that you ate. From the training period, men were trained to feed themselves. They used to eat whatever they could steal or earn. They had to work hard to be able to feed themselves.
Whatever they ate was healthier compared to the greasy food items that we find today. You have to feed your body protein and veggies that are essential to help you build muscles. However, you didn't feed yourself excessively because that would make you fat and slow.
3. Physique:
Spartan Mentality
The ancient Spartan soldiers had ripped bodies from all the training that they had to undergo. So, if your goal is to develop a Spartan lifestyle and value, you'd better start working on your physical training. The Spartans soldiers used to have lean muscles that enabled them to fight with others, physically and mentally.
4. Spartan Psyche and Mentality:
An average Spartan man had to train himself mentally as well as physically. Only being strong didn't help them all the time. The Spartan soldier lived a lifestyle that required constant fight for survival and had to value whatever they would earn. They would have to steal from people without being caught, otherwise, they would be punished. Such activities made them instinctive.
5. The goal or purpose of Spartan Education:
In modern society, the primary thing for the people mostly become feeding themselves and gather as much wealth as possible. But the Spartan lifestyle and values teach you to follow a goal completely different. If you want to live like a Spartan soldier, you must dedicate your life to serve a particular place or person. Having personal materialistic goals isn't the purpose of a Spartan soldier.
6. Waking Up:
Spartan Mentality
If you are someone who wakes up after 5 snoozes of your alarm, then we have something bad for y0u. Waking up early was one of the very essential lifestyles and values in the Spartan mentality. You will need to start using your time much more efficiently and most importantly, you must wake up early.
7. Training:
Spartan Mentality
Whether you want to grow up to become an army, fighter, engineer or even a doctor, you must follow some Spartans rules and regulations. in order to lead a spartan lifestyle, you will have to train yourself much harder.
The training period in the Spartan lifestyle goes until you die. So, you need to give yourself time to learn and grow. Whatever career you pursue, you need to be able to give it all you have got. Giving up will never be an option.
8. Working in a Team:
Spartan lifestyle and values
As a Spartan, you had to fight in a team. The Spartans army used to form a wall by sticking onto each other during the war that hardly let anyone else pass through. If someone gets injured during the war, the other Spartan soldier used to come and take their place, and they would continue to move forward. So, if you want to work like a Spartan, you will have to learn to work in a team as well.
9. Intellect in Spartan Lifestyle and Value:
Spartan lifestyle and values
As we mentioned above, being strong wasn't enough for the Spartan soldiers. Also, they needed to think smartly. So, sharpening your intellect is extremely important if you want to develop a spartan mentality.

10. Practise Abstinence:
Spartans never involved themselves in any activity that would not result in either making them stronger or smarter. So, they believed all the other activities such as sex and drinking would lead them to get distracted from their values and training. Therefore, if you align your lifestyle by the values the Spartan society, you might have to restrain yourself from such things.
11. Fight Your Way Out:
Spartan lifestyle and values
The Spartan mentality was to do anything they had to for survival. So, you need to be ready to fight through all the tough moments in life. If you didn't, you get killed. If you also want to live that way, you will have to learn to fight with toff situations in life.
12. Discipline in Spartan Lifestyle:
Finally, this has to be one of the most important values you need to live by in a Spartan lifestyle. From the young age of seven, the kids were taught to take care of themselves. They were all taught to fulfill their purpose of becoming ready for the battle.
At present, even if this might not be your goal, whatever goal you have in mind, you need to establish a strong discipline in yourself. Every principle mentioned above will not be possible without considering the disciplined lifestyle that the Spartan's value.

MQTT time stamp
I've set up a simple test that has a couple ESP32's that publish Temp/Humidity pairs to the MQTT connector. I'm able to display a graph with the published data that covers a 24 hour period. The problem I have is with the time display on the graph, it is UTC. Both the ESP32's and RaspberryPi are set to the correct local time. But the incoming data is always displayed using UTC. Is there a way to change this to local time?
Hi tresark,
If you are referring to the timestamp in the metadata, you can add the missing hours with a formular.
In Exceltime 1 represents 1 day. So adding 1/24 to your current time adds one hour to the total. :slight_smile:
Time in A1
In B1 you write =A1+(1/24)
The time in B1 is one hour later then the time in A1.
Thanks for the quick response. I'm not sure though how to use that with the draw.chart function.
What is your Streamsheet looking like at the moment, what do you use as your DataRange for the Chart?
The streamsheet is fairly trivial at the moment. It is based on the Windmill demo included during install. I was able to get the esp32 to post the data using MQTT. The current sensor values are moved from the 'inbox' to a pair of cells D5, D6. I then use the TIMEAGGREGATE function to keep a running average over the course of an hour (=TIMEAGGREGATE(D5,86400,1) in cell D7 and for the other in D8. Then I use (=DRAW.CHART("ID1","Chart1",13743,7594,11668,6191,"scatterLine",D7).
All that said, the demo Wind Cockpit that displays the moving chart for Wind Speed does the same thing. Across the bottom of that chart the times are in UTC.
In the Timeaggregate function you can use the parameter "timeserial".
This defaults to NOW() which is UTC. If you enter "NOW()+1/24" you added one hour to the UTC time! :slight_smile:
Example: =TIMEAGGREGATE(B11,,0,NOW()+1/24)
Perfect, thanks very much.

Mrs. Dixon's Home Page » Treasure Key
In Dixon Den we have special keys that allow students to bring in a "treasure" to share with the class. Much like show and tell, the first grader with the key stands up in front of the class to tell all about the treasure he/she has brought to share. The holder of the key should be able to tell why the item is a treasure to him/her and be able to tell important information about the treasure. If your child brings home the key, please help him/her to choose something interesting to share with our class. Some good ideas include: a few pictures or a souvenir from a recent trip, part of a collection, pictures of a pet, a favorite book, a special or unusual gift, or something from nature. Help your first grader put the key and the treasure in his/her backpack that evening so nothing will be forgotten the next morning. In order to share, a child must bring both the treasure and the key. Dixon Den first graders look forward to their turn with the key! It gives them an opportunity to practice speaking in front of a group and it makes them feels special!

We have all seen videos of Golden retrievers happily enjoying a taste of human food. The joy and excitement on their faces are enough to warrant any pet owner to offer them a bite or scoop of whatever they are eating, especially when it comes to ice cream.
Can Golden retrievers eat ice cream? Maybe, depending on the kind of Ice cream it is.
Is Ice Cream Healthy For a Golden Retriever?
Ice cream is delicious, tasty, and refreshing on a very hot day. No Golden Retriever can refuse a scoop of ice-cream. Does that make it healthy for it? Maybe, depending on the type of ice-cream and ingredients used in its manufacture.
Just like many other types of food developed for human consumption, ice-cream is not a dog-friendly food. Store-bought ice-cream contains dairy, a lot of sugar, and certain flavors that can be dangerous to dogs.
Before giving your dog any type of ice-cream, consider asking your veterinarian for their expert opinion. The vet can determine the kind of ice-cream and quantity that should be issued based on your dog's medical history.
Dairy Products And Dogs
Although dairy products are not toxic to dogs, they can cause some serious discomfort. According to an article by Anna Burke "Can Dogs Drink Milk?" most dogs are lactose intolerant and hence have difficulty breaking down and digesting milk. Other dogs have trouble drinking milk, but they can handle other dairy products such as cheese and plain yogurt.
However, some dogs can have adverse reactions to the presence of dairy in their diet and end up having allergic reactions and other health complications.
How can I tell if My Golden Retriever is Lactose Intolerant?
It is not easy to determine whether a dog is lactose intolerant. Usually, a pet owner only finds this out when they offer their pups dairy products.
In other instances, the dog may not be lactose intolerant, however, when it consumes a large amount of milk, ice cream or any other product with dairy, it can induce signs similar to those of lactose intolerance. These include loose stool, gas, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
Sugar and Dogs
Just like humans, dogs are attracted to sweet foods. Anything that has sugar would automatically be appealing to dogs' taste buds. It is for this reason that dogs rarely turn down anything that contains sugar, including ice cream, even if it may not be healthy for them.
Sugar provides energy which is crucial in maintaining certain bodily functions and aids in active play. Store-bought dog food and treats often contain a lot of sugar used to mask the bitterness of some of the ingredients used in the food's manufacture.
Just like human beings, the risks of consuming too much sugar are also experienced by dogs, hence, when feeding golden retrievers and any other dog for that matter, ice-cream, it is important to consider the impact it has on the dog's health.
The increased levels of sugar intake can destabilize the dog's healthy diet leading to other health complications.
Additionally, Colleen Paige, the author of The Good Behaviour Book for Dogs: The Most Annoying Bog Behaviours. . . Solved!" claims that the excess sugar in a dog's diet can lead to uncooperative, hyper, and unfocused behavior when they are on a sugar high, and sleepy, lethargic, moody, and irritable behaviors after the sugar-high dissipate.
What about Sugarless Ice-cream?
If sugar is so dangerous, then is it okay to give my golden retriever sugarless ice-cream? Maybe.
Ice cream that is manufactured without sugar is often sweetened with other artificial sweeteners that can be harmful to dogs. Xylitol, for instance, is one such sweetener.
Liz Palika's article, "Dogs and Sugar: Good or Bad?" defined xylitol as sugar alcohol derived from plants. It is very sweet and has a myriad of dental benefits. It is for this reason that it is used in toothpaste, mouthwash, gums, butter, candies, and baked goods.
As beneficial as it is to human beings, it is extremely toxic to dogs. If a dog consumes any product that contains Xylitol, then it can cause the dog's blood sugar levels to drop.
The dog can exhibit symptoms such as vomiting, lethargy, coordination problems, seizures, and eventually liver failure. Hence, when offering your golden retriever sugarless ice-cream, check the ingredients to ensure it does not contain Xylitol.
Ice-cream Flavour and Dogs
One of the reasons ice cream is such a delicacy is because it can be issued in different flavors. From Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla, Coffee, Blueberry, Raspberry, Bubble-gum, just to name a few. As enjoyable as all these flavors are to humans, some are toxic to dogs.
An article by Katherine Ripley, "Can Dogs Eat Ice Cream?" states that chocolate is one of the few flavors that are toxic to dogs because they are not able to process theobromine, a component within chocolate itself.
For the safety of your golden retriever, it is best to ensure that the only flavor of ice-cream given is plain vanilla.
Dangers of feeding Golden Retrievers Ice cream
Like all other dogs, when golden retrievers are given large quantities of ice cream regularly, they are in danger of:
Due to the excess sugar in the body and the inability of insulin to break down all the sugar. This can also be due to the body's inability to utilize the insulin being produced.
Due to the increased calorie intake levels of the dog as a result of added sugars and a destabilized diet
As a result of lactose intolerance
Rapid Liver Failure
Due to the consumption of Xylitol
Hypoglycemia or blood sugar drop
Due to the consumption of Xylitol
- Sugar Addiction
What Kind of Ice-Cream is good for My Golden Retriever?
Clearly, store-bought ice cream poses a great danger to a dog's health. If you are to give your dog ice-cream as a treat, its best to ensure that the ice-cream issued is purely vanilla flavor and does not contain Xylitol.
It is also important to ensure that the quantity is very minimal to guarantee that the dog's healthy diet is not destabilized. A whole scoop is surely too much! However, just a lick or two should be okay.
If you would like to incorporate Ice-cream as a treat for your golden retriever, since there isn't an option where you can get ice-cream that does not contain sugar, dairy, or artificial sweeteners, it is best to make your own Ice cream!
If your dog absolutely has to have ice cream as a treat, then it is crucial to ensure the best, healthier, safer option is selected, this is Home-Made Ice cream. With it, you can regulate the amount of sugar used and additionally ensure that dairy is not present.
The Banana Treat Ice-cream Recipe described below is an example of a simple homemade nice-cream treat for your golden retriever:
Banana Peanut Butter Ice-Cream Treat
3 Ripe Bananas
1 Tablespoon of Peanut Butter
Peel the bananas (Cut them or leave them whole) and freeze them, for 2 hrs or overnight
Blend the Bananas in a Powerful Blender or Food Processor
When you achieve a creamy texture, add a tablespoon of peanut butter
Continue blending until it is mixed well
Serve immediately or store in a sealed container in the freezer for a much firmer ice cream.
Other simple Home-made dog ice-cream recipe
- Banana Strabery Ice cream
- Banana Ice cream
Alternatives to Dog Ice-Cream
If you do not want to give your golden retriever ice-cream, consider other alternatives. For instance, frozen yogurt. It is fermented, contains less lactose, and is easier for dogs to digest. Ensure that the yogurt is not a commercial brand, as it will have a lot of sugar content, instead buy plain and unsweetened yogurt.
Nice Cream is another viable option in place of ice-creams. It is a vegan ice cream alternative that is made from bananas. It is safe for dogs to consume this; however, consider checking the number of bananas the dog should consume as described in the article "Can my dog eat bananas?"
Conclusion– Can Golden Retrievers eat ice cream
As pet owners, we celebrate the joy our pets have when we offer them delicious treats and other foods that get them happy and wagging their tails. However, even with the joy our golden retrievers give us, it is important to consider that not everything will be beneficial to their health.
As a pet owner, when you consider giving your dog ice cream, take a moment and check the type of ice-cream you are going to give them. If it is not sugarless then consider whether your retriever may be lactose intolerant and give as little as possible as you await the reaction from the dog.
If the coast is clear, consider adding just a bit more, as directed by the veterinarian. If you would like to incorporate ice-cream as a treat, then consider home-made ice-cream and other fruit-based desserts as an alternative to commercial ice-cream.

Defects and defect costs in construction - a study of seven building projects in Sweden
In this paper, results from a study of defects occurring on construction sites are presented. Seven building projects were monitored during the production phase. 2,879 defects were collected, analysed and fully described. Their cost corresponds to 4.4% of the production cost. The time to correct them corresponds to 7% of the total working time. The defects are further analysed according to origin, type and position, as well as according to element of building and activity. Most defects could be ascribed to design and to production management. Common defect types were lack of coordinating design work, mistakes in production planning, erroneous workmanship and late deliveries. The defect cost was high in roofs and in concrete drilling. The possibility to reduce the cost of defects is discussed.

The purpose of this study was to validate the three dimensional model of classifying coping behavior. The three are: Encounter-Avoidance, Problem-Emotion, Behavior-Cognition Dimension. A set of questionnaires on coping behavior and psychological stress responses were administered, and 1 604 undergraduates and 1 296 adults completed them. Analyses of covariance structure were performed, and results indicated that the three dimensional model, with eight coping style, showed the highest goodness-of-fit statistics. Multiple regression analyses also indicated that Problem-Emotion and Behavior-Cognition dimensions were useful for predicting the coping effects on psychological stress responses. Therefore, the two dimensional model of Problem-Emotion and Behavior-Cognition, with four coping style, would be helpful for further investigation of coping behavior that would buffer psychological stress responses.
